Actually, Meira was based on Takamaru from The Mysterious Murasame Castle, which is also a double reference thanks to Kotohime, as they both are based on cosplaying manga characters and is one of the reasons Meira is an otaku that knows manga references when Reimu mentions one based upon a character that shares the same name by mentioning its catchphrase.
I'm always glad to educate people that are uneducated in matters that I like, the more the merrier after all.
